Question description

The events of September 11, 2001 shocked the United States population
more than any event since the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941. Yet many
historians argue that the signs of animosity towards the United States
had been growing for decades, and were largely ignored during the
Clinton administration. Many citizens proclaimed, “Why do they hate us
so?” in great shock and surprise.

Explain the shift in
focus of the U.S. population away from world events after the fall of
the Soviet Union and the effect it may have had on our national
security.

Agree or disagree with the following statement and
cite your reasons: “The United States is the most generous country in
the world and should be loved by its trading partners and people around
the world. Foreigners who dislike us are receiving too much anti-U.S.
propaganda.”

Agree or disagree with the following statement and
cite your reasons: “In their hearts, most of the people around the
world want what we have here in the United States – they want to be like
us.”
